Sorry you're right - we only have to advise the Foundation of a change: http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Chapter_Agreement#Bylaws

Hmm...? If I remember correctly, Chapters Committee has always been very informal about this IF a chapter even notifies us of a bylaws change. As a matter of fact, we hardly ever receive notifications of bylaws changes (certainly none for not-mission/object-related changes) and if we do, we generally look at it and if we're fine, we just communicate it that way. Read: There is no affirmative resolution needed by ChapCom, which speeds up the process extremely. Of course, if we received note (by the chapter or a 3rd party) of an absolutely objectionable bylaws change, eg. change of the charity's object to something unconnected to free knowledge, we might pass a resolution recommending derecognition by the board.
